physiochemical behaviour of gases in solution Flashcards
1
Q
formula for daltons law
with N2, H2 and O2 as example
A
p = pn2 + pnH2 + pO2
p=overall gas pressure
pN2 = partial pressure of N2
pH2=partial gas pressure of H2
pO2=partial gas pressure of O2
2
Q
what is vapour pressure
A
the pressure exerted by a vapour in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases
3
Q
what is raoults law formula
A
Pi=Pi* times Xi
the relationship between the partial vapour pressure of a component i in the vapour phase, Pi and the mole fraction of that component in solution Xi
4
Q
what does raoults law calculate
A
the vapour pressure from a knowledge of the composition of the solution
